They're about $1500 each from what I could find. Really liking these.

I have always loved the tag.. I found a rolex pearl on the beach when I was 13. I gave it to my uncle who is a multimillionaire and watch collector to have him verify if it was real.. have not seen in since... true story lulz


one day when I have the money to spare I would love to have a nice watch but there are a million different things I would rather spend my money on. my free phone tells me the time just fine for now..

You mean the phone that you spend 50+ dollars a month on?

thats true but the phone itself was free and regardless if i pay for service or not it will still tell me the time

You don't buy a nice watch to keep time. Just like you don't buy a nice car just to get from point A to B.

Too true

I was at a cookout a couple weeks ago at my sister's and my brother in law's uncle was fixated on my arm while we all stood around and talked. Sterlin, my brother in law asked him "Jimmy, what the hell are you doing" to which he responded "trying to figure out if I could EVER tell the time on that watch!"

The explanation came that, even though I do make sure the time and date are accurate before leaving my house, my watches are really only tasked with looking good and drawing compliments.

My contribution, I feel like it needs to be bigger lol

Crappy pics but I just started really getting into watches recently. I love this watch but it's pretty thick. The red line on the back is just the clear cover that didn't take off yet. Here's my contribution so far:

[One_love_silvia]

i don't get to wear watches because i'm allergic to nickel =(
i could get one that's pure silver or gold or something, but i'm not spending that much on something that does the same the my phone can do.

9 months and no one has posted...

Background:
I was on eBay to score a deal on a dealership item for my daily ($69 at dealer, $23 on eBay) and since I have shopped for/bought watches before, my suggestions sometime suggest shit that I will USUALLY ignore.
But this time (this was late January), I got click happy and looked further into it.
6 weeks later, this has happened:



No, they do not pretend to be "nice" watches, or even anything more than "a huge face with a bunch of dials," but in a world where we don't wear our watches to actually tell time but to have people notice and mention them, they're serving their purpose(s) without fail. Between the 6 you see there, I am only $78 invested - note that there is quite a bit of "wait on it to get here from China involved - and my brother paid $25 of that for two of them.
Sure, I am not buying another watch for a LOOOOONG time, but I am pleased with my purchases of this winter.

My current favorite daily watch.

[slamburger]

IWC is one of my fav watch makers. VERY nice watch sir.

[SinGarage]

Thank you sir...it's one of my favorite daily watches to wear. I also have another one at home but no pics on my phone.

[jamescarter]

My new daily that i picked up a couple weeks back.

[SinGarage]

Very nice...how much did this set you back?

[PeaceOnesxWai]

Surprised i never seen this thread

Back last year i was really into Patek watches with the winding movements and moonphases. Spent ridiculous amounts of money but gladly i made more back selling then buying.

I stuck with this one and its been serving me pretty good. These watches like said above are not really for telling time lol theyre more for showing off. Ive gotten room upgrades, dinner table at reserved places, walking in closed events, and outstanding services with this watch.. People notice pateks a mile away

Picked it up locally for $750, I'm really impressed with hamilton's attention to detail on this watch.

If you have a chance definitely pick one up. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! I have watches that cost 5 times as much with the same build quality. Just goes to show you how much of a watch you get with hamilton.

I don't think I would be disappointed. Not sure my wife would say if she finds another watch in my collection hahaha.

[jamescarter]

Mine gets a vacation and I get a watch, seems like a good deal. Haha

Lol i got it second hand for around from my families pawn shop, crazy but i bought it in a heartbeat after hearing that price.. but its a grand complication!


I wear it like you do with a exotic.. weekends

Just lost my Tag Heuer F1 last Christmas after 13 years of owning it. Maybe time to find a replacement.

[Matej]

Nismo watch.

[Seraphim38]

my new acquisition:

[Forte EXE]

What are some pretty good watches that arent too expensive. Say the $300-$500 range?

I currently use this Michael Kors watch


Which is pretty good for the price range. I use it almost daily and do everything in it.

But I was looking at something maybe a little more high quality. I would love to own a Rolex or a Breitling in the near future, but thats probably not going to happen till I become a millionaire haha.

I'd consider Victorinox/Swiss Army or something along that line. But they're not so fashionable as your MK.

Thats just me though.
